I am pretty new to web development and need to create an interactive map where various info pops up on mouse over certain areas.
Is it possible to have an image appear or change visibility on mouse over a SVG polygon?
I would greatly appreciate any assistance.

I need to select an rectangular area on a map and identify markers that fall within that area.
Ideally, rectangle should be draggable and resizeable.
I am not too particular about the mapping and Google or Mapbox or Leaflet would all work just fine.
I found location-filter for Leaflet (https://github.com/kajic/leaflet-locationfilter/), which does seem to do the job. However, I couldn't find simple example code that shows how to use it. It has been used on tripcode.com but it is hard to make anything out of what is going on.
Does anyone have any experience with location-filter? If so, can you please point me to simple example of how to use it?
Are there similar examples for other mapping services particularly google maps?
Thanks.
For my bbox page I've snatched two files: SimpleShape, Rectangle from Leaflet.draw plugin and fixed them for better usability. The code for the rectangle is simple:
var rect = L.rectangle([[59.9, 29.9], [60.1, 30.1]]);
map.addLayer(rect);
rect.editing.enable();
rect.on('edit', function() { console.log(rect.getBounds().getBBoxString()); });
For advanced things like centering the rectangle on screen, see source code for the page.
When you are drawing the markers onto the map you will need to add them to some kind of an array which will contain the lat/lng pair of each marker.
You can use Leaflet.draw to draw the rectangle and modify it to return top left and bottom right coordinates on mouse up. On mouse up you can go over the entire list and which elements fit inside that bounding box.
This solution is just an example, there are many ways you can do this.
I'm having difficulty drawing lines on top of an uploaded "map.gif" image.
Basically I've upload a small outline map and use the "area" function to create defined areas (cities, roads, etc). When I click on a city a snall pop up gets displayed with the word "hey, you've just click on Dallas" (or where ever). All that works just fine.
My problem is that my map is actually just a blank outline with no actual cities or roads drawn on it.
Therefore I tried using the "canvas" function to draw the cities (circles) and roads (lines).
The only problem is that they appear below the map rather than on top of it.
Any ideas as to how I can get the lines to appear on the map?
Many thanks,
Pete
You might just have to try playing with the CSS z-index values of the image and canvas.
Do make sure you set the canvas to be transparent.
An other possibility is to replace the image with the canvas (or just load the image in the canvas to begin with).
For some hints on how to use images with canvas take a look here.
I would load the gif directly in the canvas memory, and then do all the rest inside the canvas itself.
The gif is not animated, right?
Some reference about loading: https://developer.mozilla.org/en/Canvas_tutorial/Using_images
I have a web application that needs to display 30,000 markers on a map at the same time. I don't want to use any kind of clustering. I need them to all be displayed.
I also need them to be clickable. The user can click on each point and a popup will come up with information about that point. Even at a low zoom level when there are thousands of markers in a single 256x256 square, the user needs to be able to click on them. It may be cumbersome for the user to click on a point thats bunched up with hundreds of other points, but if there happens to be one marker in the middle of nowhere, I want the user to be able to click on it right there instead of having to zoom in.
How do I do this? I know it's possible because I watched a video on google video where this guy creates a GTileLayerOverlay app that had clickable markers. He didn't explain how it was done though.
Is my only option to just remove the GTileLayerOverlay at high zoom levels and replace it with a true GMarker layer? I really don't want to do that. It seems over engineering to me.
If you were me, how would you go about this?
I found this example is in the Google Maps API Demo Gallery:
Clickable Tile Layer
This example creates a custom map type (GMapType) that shows regional borders and squares for county centers. When the squares are clicked, an info window opens with information about that county. The clickability is accomplished by passing in information about clickable pixel bounds in the cookies attached to the tiles, and doing a client-side check on mouseover for whether the mouse position was within the pixel bounds.
Here's some commentary on his method.
I don't have any experience with GTileLayOverlays, but I believe it is possible to accomplish what you're trying to do without using GMarkers.
Would it be possible to utilize clustering if each cluster could bring up a list of the markers it represents? It seems like having 30,000 markers visible at once would be visually confusing and difficult to navigate .
hi i wanted to display a us state on google map with borders drawn,
when the user opens up a page i wanted to show in the center that state...with borders drawn.
additionally i wanted to put a button on that page so that user clicks it and draws a rectangle on the state, the system will just have to popup the latitude and longitude of the selected area, and area ...
can you anyone guide me through the steps? or is there any good reference that i could follow. thanks in advance!
as an example of what i mean

I would start in the Google AJAX APIs playground, here: http://code.google.com/apis/ajax/playground/#map_simple
There are tons of samples here and by playing with them you should get an idea of how to do what you want and/or come up with some more specific questions.
